Up Close and Personal

It was only a matter of time before I dove into macro photography. I recently acquired a Tamron 90mm Di macro lens and hit the ground running. It is already quite obvious I'll need an external flash, but here is what I was able to get within a few minutes in my dads backyard.

This stink/shield bug (pentatomidea) was relaxing and stayed still long enough for me to practice on him.

This is a fly.

I'll be looking forward to using this on the butterflies in Texas!
